Morning Ed's and fellow Reds. I've used the search function to see peoples and Ed's opinion on Marco Reus. I've thought highly of him for years and my question is simple, IF Utd really are in for him, why couldn't we compete for his signature? is it a case of wages or do we simply not rate him? obv you can't look at every good player but if this guy was up for grabs, I can't see a prem team he wouldn't get into. Thanks guys!

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea, Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Arsenal showed an interest in Marco Reus before his return to Dortmund last year. Recent tentative approaches made by Chelsea and Manchester City have resulted in a "not for sale" response. Manchester City may push again but Dortmund seem to no longer be looking at Dzeko as a possible replacement for Lewandowski, so the option to offer favourable terms on the transfer or a contribution to his salary may well have gone. Interest from Manchester United remains quite speculative right now but should the player become available they may well look to bid. Dortmund will not want to sell.

Liverpool has their own targets and Reus has not been one - his transfer fee would be very significant, as would his wages.}

Ed's I'd just like to ask a question regarding our transfer policies if possible. Wanyama to Spurs seem to have happened within days. It could just be because we don't look at Spurs rumour sites, but to me, it feels like we take an age to get anything done. Am I just a typical impatient fan? Thanks.

What smacks is that he signed for £12.5m 3 yrs ago. Improves, comes into his peak years, has proven prem experience and goes for £11m. If it were us buying him, £20-£25m easy and we'd pay it.

Yeah I was looking at this yesterday and it is no suprise. Everyone else seems to manage to do better business that us for better players. £11m from them probably would have been £20m from us. Liverpool fc is poorly run from back to front.

Lets not mix players and club up here. As a club their fantastic, with a now unbelievable global brand that's been built up from very little. Yes money is a factor but they've still managed what many haven't in that area.

Diving/ playacting players however, is a different story. Part of the game now I suppose, but I'll never be able to appreciate it as 'sport' when I watch it.

I was made up when we signed Clyne, but feel he got more protection when he was at Southampton. His weakness for us in my opinion, is not getting back once he's bombed on, but by no means is he a terrible player like some are saying.

I think people should be interested in finding out who the RB targets are before they all celebrate him being sold.

As a club, Liverpool have had more than enough time to identify Coutinho's replacement, if this is Lemar and we can't do a deal in Jan then fine. You can't force a club to sell after all, but if we then fail to get the said target in summer, i'd be disappointed.

Loosing a player of Coutinho's caliber would detriment any club on this planet, so let's not pretend we "don't need him for top four". I'm not saying without him we can't get it, but with him or his identified replacement, we'd surely have a better chance in all competitions.
